Frankfurt

Yesterday we all went on a class excursion to Frankfurt, which is large city just 2 hours away from Bonn. They called it the Manhattan of Germany, as most of it is very industrial, however, the town center still maintains some of the old German charm as seen in the pic. While we were there we took a 2 hour walking tour and learned about the reconstruction process of Frankfurt as it was heavily bombed during WWII. After the tour we had an awesome lunch and went to a modern art museum which displayed a lot of Andy Warhol's work. Frankfurt is also where the European Central Bank is located, so we got to take a tour through there as well. This is the central bank for the European Union, and is where all the monetary policies are determined and the money is distributed. Being a finance major, I found this really fascinating!

This weekend will be filled with lots of exciting events.... Friday I am going to see Fall Out Boy and The Sounds in concert, and then off to Munich in Bavaria!! : )
